On a scale from one to ten, how would you rate your own physical attractiveness?

On a scale of 1-10? on what ...the Richter scale? Lol. I clean up pretty well when I want to, in spite of being a bit gooey in the middle. So i'll say "7". My wife says I'm a "10"

Ask me anything

Have you every wanted to be a part of a writer / artist team like Wolfman & Perez, Lee & Kirby, Claremont & Byrne and if so who would the writer be?

I have. I've done it a few times with Alex Simmons, Sean McKeever and Jay Faerber having worked with them multiple times on different projects. It's a hard question to answer because there are so many writers I would love to work with like Gail Simone, Ed Brubaker, Paul Tobin, Joe Kelly. Pete Tomasi and Geoff Johns.
There are people like Sterling Gates and Stuart Moore that i would work with in a heartbeat. I think the opportunity may present itself but I couldn't pick one name.

Ask me anything

when you became a professional artist what has been the biggest challenge/surprise that you hadn't considered before become a professional?

Time management. I don't think i truly comprehended the sheer man hours it takes to complete a monthly comic. Before I became a pro I had other jobs so if a page took a week to draw, that's the way it was. However, when you have to crank out 220+ separate illustrations per year and try to maintain some sort of private time and social life/ family life, it can be daunting.

Ask me anything

Which comic legend do you have more pleasure to meet?

Jose Luis Gacia Lopez and Brian Bolland. two of my heroes and great gentlemen to talk to.

Ask me anything

Supergirl

Captain Marvel

Do you normally layout a whole issue before going back and tightening up the pancils, or do you do it page-by-page? Or maybe something else entirely?

I thumbnail the entire issue and then each week I take that weeks pages whether it's 4 pages or 10 pages http://jamaligle1.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2ghkcg and do 4x 6 inch layouts http://jamaligle1.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2ldygj. I spend a day or so doing just that. That way I know what I'm working on and what the finished product with end up like. http://jamaligle1.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2ldzno

Ask me anything

Marvel or DC?

Both. I read everything (Indies as well) and am a fan of books at both companies.

Ask me anything

When did you find your "style"?

Probably about 5 years ago or so. I did a little experimenting with a more blockier style for a couple of years after I returned to comics in 2001 but I think when I started working on Firestorm for DC comics was when my real voice came out artistically.

Ask me anything

I guess you've "made it" when...

Someone cosplays one of your costume designs. This was a kick for me, I was coming down the escalator at the Baltimore Comic-Con when I saw him and had to have my picture taken.

Came to find out that not only is he a pro wrestler Eric " The Smoke " Moran but a major comics fan. We'd met previously but this was the first chance we had to talk and it was great to see the work he put in.

Of course the funniest part is when i showed the picture of Smoke and I standing together, Karine said" You look tiny next to him, he must be really tall!"

Thanks, Smoke!
